Comments about MUT:
excellent tool, strong and effective. when I was deployed in Afghanistan my M249 SAW jammed while I was firing it. I was unable to pull the bolt back by hand because of the way it jammed. the bolt override tool worked exactly the way it was supposed to and allowed me to clear the jam and return to shooting. the pin punch did eventually break on the MUT but when I shipped it in to Leatherman a brand new one was sent to me quickly. I am very pleased with the MUT and customer service.

Comments about MUT:
I bought this because I lost my Leatherman Wave that I always carried. I'm a Fire Fighter and frequently use multitools like these. I'm also National Guard so this MUT seemed like the perfect fit to use both in the military and the fire service. It seems really well built. There is no wiggle or play while using any of the tools. One of the first things I noticed was how ergonomic it is. It provides a comfortable handle to hold while using all the various features. The only downside is that it is pretty bulky and somewhat heavy. Doesn't really bother me, it's just noticeable when I wear it on my belt.

I'm going to start this blog with an example of the top leader this country has: the President of the United States. Now, whether you're Democrat or Republican and no matter what term it is, you have to admit that the man elected to the station of POTUS has tremendous influence. Whether you agree with how they got there, the fact remains, they have a huge burden for the next four years to be the ultimate leader, not only for Senate and Congress, but the leader of the nation! Now, come on, if that's now the pinnacle of great leadership, tell me what is.
My point is that one of the reasons that the President got where they are is because of their ability to influence those around them and use that influence to lead, whether it was their business, city, state or even an entire nation. So what influence factors do I think lead up to that kind of leadership?Read More . . .

OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: Sari Gueron

Sari Gueron - New York Fall 2008
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Roll Call: Julianne Moore, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Barbara Bush
Chic Report: This season, Sari did what she does best--design cosmopolitan cocktail numbers, each one seemingly tailor-made for some '50s cover girl like Suzy Parker or Lisa Fonssagrives Penn. The collection was big night-ready, with tons of lace, tulle, and gleaming emerald, gold, and crimson. And when Heather Marks emerged in a one-shouldered black frock with Japanese floral embellishments, even the most jaded indie chicks were charmed. What a genius birthday present for the show's stylist, Leslie Fremar!

Letters to the EditorThe New York Times229 West 43rd StreetNew
York, NY 10036
To The Editor:
Siliva Nasar legitimately criticizes George J. Borjas for his new book ("A
Gloomy View of Immigration," Oct. 10, 1999). However, Ms. Nasar's article
omitted some key facts. For example, the article did not mention that the key
thesis of the work is refuted by a study Mr. Borjas himself edited, or that
economic statistics and key policymakers disagree with that thesis, or that the
book parallels a study conducted by a notorious anti-immigrant group.
Mr. Borjas apparently has not read a 1998 working paper published by the
National Bureau of Economic Research, showing "that since the mid 1980s the
average skill of new, U.S. legal immigrants has been rising relative to that of
the U.S. population." Interesting, Mr. Borjas was the editor of a volume on
immigration containing the NBER study. But he now contends that the opposite is
His view on the economic role of immigrants is disputed by none other than
Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. In its last two monthly
reports on the U.S. economy, the Fed notes that widespread labor shortages
exists throughout the country, predominantly among such industries as retail
establishments, restaurants, resorts, and agriculture. That's why Chairman
Greenspan told Congress earlier this year that "we should be carefully focused
on the contributions which skilled people from abroad, unskilled people from
abroad, what they can contribute to this country." Asked how to stop the worker
shortage from re-igniting inflation, Greenspan responded, "If we can open up our
immigration rolls significantly, that will clearly make that less and less of a
potential problem."
Likewise, Mr. Borjas' statistics on income levels are not supported by the
most recent Census Bureau studies, which show that virtually all socio-economic
groups have seen their income levels rise. While Mr. Borjas acknowledges that
immigrants are helping to boost the number of workers as the U.S. population
ages, he does not put that important information into context. Even with
immigrants, the number of people between the ages of 25 and 50 – the prime
working age – has dropped by 14% over the past decade. Studies show that without
immigrants, the rising ratio of elderly to working young could reduce American
living standards by half-a-percent over the next 40 years; by more than 10%
between now and 2050. That is because fewer people would be working, producing
less in taxes to fund greater and more expensive benefits.
The public and policymakers need to know those facts, in order to understand
the anti-immigrant message behind Mr. Borjas' book. They also need to understand
that America is a nation of immigrants; that immigrants contribute to our
society; and that immigrants are central to our continued economic growth and

What is a Post-Graduate Fellowship?
There are an increasing number of fellowships available to recent law school graduates. Some are designed to financially assist graduates who want to do public interest or pro bono work, but face too large student loan repayments. While the term "fellowship" is used by a variety of different programs, generally legal fellowships:
- are short-term opportunities lasting from a few months to several years – most are one or two years
- allow fellows to assist underrepresented populations and/or address specific issues in a given community
- focus on the professional development of the fellow
- are sponsored by a specific association or organization seeking to expand leadership in its particular area of law
The financial compensation varies greatly. Still, this can be balanced with the ability to work on legal issues the fellow cares about, helping people and communities who often have nowhere else to turn. Also, legal fellowships allow the recent graduate to assume much more responsibility, more quickly, than would be possible in some other types of legal work. In addition, many fellowships offer:
- student loan repayment programs
- healthcare coverage and other employment benefits
- housing stipends
- paid travel or relocation expenses
- alumni networks for developing and maintaining contacts in the field
- training programs
Types of Fellowships and Fellowship Application Information
To learn more about the various types of fellowships, please go to: Types of Fellowships. If you're interested in applying for a post-graduate fellowship, please go to: Fellowship Application Information for specific information. Additionally, the most comprehensive list of postgraduate legal fellowships can be found on PSJD, the online resource for public service careers. by clicking on the "Postgraduate Fellowships" link. Concurrently, be sure to make an appointment with Laura Scott, Assistant Director, Public Service Careers, to develop application strategies and review application materials. Appointments with Laura Scott can be requested via CareerLink.

Doreen Puglisi, founder of The Pink Ribbon Program, can speak to the results of the rehabilitating workout: she first implemented it on herself. As an Exercise Physiologist recovering from breast cancer, she realized that there was no specific rehab protocol to transition post-operative survivors back into the activities that they loved the most. From her curiosity, the Pilates-based program was born.
"The program was just a great match between what the patients needed and the way that Pilates works- it is about integrating muscular movement and range of motion. It's not about lifting weight, but about control and breath. It's about getting the patient base back to a quality of life."
According to Doreen, new research sites that early intervention in physical therapy is better than waiting towards recovery, which has prompted her desire to educate healthcare providers about PT for breast cancer survivors. Read her article on this topic. In addition to incorporating activity, she also seeks to educate survivors to challenge recovery, while monitoring potential related issues.
"The true goal of the movement, designed for the patient based, to get them to graduate so that they can get through the rehab process, feel better, move better, have less limitations, know what the modifications are."
Doreen's words about recovering from a masectomy:
"I've been down this road. You don't want to feel forever that you can't do these things (activities she loved). After my surgery, I was afraid to move, I thought it might hurt and may do more damage. We educate the patients about this- movement is really great. It helps you heal. The goal is to move forward from being a pink ribbon patient. That to me was so rewarding, it is exactly what happens. I know what that feels like to go through that and get an arm to function again. You go through moments where you think it wont happen again and it happens."
Pilates instructors with an interest in incorporating Pink Ribbon Programs into their studios are encouraged to reach out for information on implementation, education and training. Last year she trained 100 healthcare educators and Pilates instructors though a 2-day educational program covering topics ranging from biomechanics to pain management.
A great quote from Doreen: "You take what life gives you and move forward. I believe I got this cancer to help others. It helped me to gain insight and I know that I can help people who have gone through a similar experience to mine". Find a course in your area and get started!

Cardiac Electrophysiology: The Hansen Sensei™ Robotic Catheter System
Expanded Role for Robots
Hartford Hospital has introduced the state's first medical robot that significantly affects how complex heart arrhythmias are treated.
The new robot is an expansion of the hospital's renowned robotics and electrophysiology programs. The Hansen Sensei™ Robotic Catheter System enables physicians to reach specific areas of the heart with increased precision and stability.
"Robotic surgery has brought about extraordinary changes in how well physicians are able to deliver their care and Hartford Hospital has been a national leader in robotic surgery," said Dr. Steven Zweibel, Director of Cardiac Electrophysiology at Hartford Hospital. "We are delighted to apply robotics to electrophysiology, as it will help us perform complex procedures with even more confidence and accuracy. This will undoubtedly have a positive impact on patient outcomes."
More than 2.5 million Americans have been diagnosed with a complex cardiac arrhythmia, resulting in more than 850,000 hospitalizations each year. When treating certain complex cardiac arrhythmias, physicians may use a method known as catheter ablation. This process uses a tiny catheter to deliver energy that destroys small areas of heart muscle responsible for causing rapid or irregular heart rhythms. The procedure enables physicians to map out the heart's electrical system and target only those specific areas in need of treatment.
Prior to the to robot, catheter ablation required a manual technique in which physicians manipulated one end of the catheter with inadequate assurance that the tip would respond as desired while inside the heart. As a result, achieving stable contact for successful mapping was difficult, and could lead to highly variable and less-than-optimal outcomes. With the robot, physicians are able to manipulate the catheters with increased precision and accuracy, and are able to accurately target only the areas within the heart that are in need of treatment.
Robotic surgery allows surgeons to perform minimally-invasive procedures with more precision. Hartford Hospital doctors have pioneered many robotic procedures, doing more of them in more specialties than any other hospital in New England and most other hospitals in the country.

The Story
Beautiful floors begin with this clever wringer mop from Casabella®, created exclusively for Clean Slate™. This thoughtfully designed hybrid of wring mop and modern microfiber represents a breakthrough in wet-dry cleaning. Looped microfiber head magnetically attracts dust and dirt along the way, then the removable head refreshes with a quick machine wash. Carefully crafted with smooth powdercoated steel and durable plastic, the long pole features an ingenious integrated wringing system for wet mopping. The soft rubber handle is not only comfortable to grip, it also conveniently hangs from a top loop once you're finished (or snaps into one of our coordinating Utility Grippers).
Casabella® was founded in 1988 when Bruce Kaminstein discovered a unique mop in Italy, which inspired his vision for expertly crafted, custom utility designs that are as beautiful as the homes they clean.

Hi all,
Is the scissor test any different from (accordingly) adjusting the viewport and projection matrix? As far as I know all it does is 'clip' the area that is rendered to (like a viewport - with clipping enabled), but without scaling in screen space. But I might be missing something. Is scissoring redundant?

Phoenix >Taxis & Shuttles > In The Scene Limousine Phoenix
830 E Sherman St, Phoenix, AZ | Directions 8503433.440323 -112.063047
Neighborhoods: Nuestro Barrio, Starr Place Southern Village, Central City
The limo broke down during the bachelor party (the front axle snapped) and in response In the Scene Limousines offered basically nothing in compensation and quoted the service agreement stating that they were not liable for any mechanical failures. I complained but they showed no particular interest in satisfying the customer.
While the limo was good quality and the driver was professional & nice, their approach to customer satisfaction leaves a terrible taste in my mouth. I recommend you avoid In the Scene Limousines.
Do not book with this company. Did not show up for scheduled (and paid for service) - and no call as to why. We called them when no one arrived 15 min after scheduled pickup. We were told car was still at their office - that driver apparently didn't show up. Scrambled and found replacement driver who showed up 1 hour and 45 minutes late with limo and in jeans and T shirt. Service was booked for 50th birthday and concert. Purposely booked 2 hours prior to show time to allow for travel and dinner - missed entire first act of show we'd flown into town for and had bought premium tickets to see. Biggest issue is owners didn't accept responsibility - put all the blame on driver - but where we're they? Why didn't they know the car had not left the office? Should have comped entire booking but only comped one way and lots of excuses why that was the best they could do. Empty bottles and dirty glasses still in car on return trip - no corkscrew in limo etc. not a classy operation at all.
Do NOT use this limo service as the driver intentionally drove around to increase the amount of the time to ensure going over the agreed timefram and was rude and unprofessional to the passengers.
I rented a limo to take to a company meeting, they were on time, polite and professional. I highly recommend for anyone to use their transportation services
Great experience – The driver showed up 15 Mins early. He was very professional and nice. It was a pleasure to use their service.
Awesome Trip – They were awesome with providing all the information needed. He drove my daughter and her friends from an event of school they have a great time! I would call them for any future limo rides. The quote was perfect for our budget. Thanks for everything!!
Nice limo service – Appreciate the extra attention that In the Scene gave us. Felt like a rock star.
Great – James was great. Will keep calling for my trips.
Poor Customer Service after We Had Trouble – Started out with a very nice experience when booking a 37 passenger bus for my wedding. The reservation staff was very accomodating to my questions and two reservation changes.
Everything changed on the day of the reservation. The driver was not qualified to operate the bus which was evident when he wasn't able to operate the sound system and most importantly was not able to control the air conditioning and the bus was incredibly warm. The driver was not apologetic, he just kept saying "this isn't my normal bus". Me and my party were very frustrated, and the driver was unable to help and unapologetic. After around one hour of waiting for everyone to load and taking a trip back to the hotel where we were staying, we ended up just cutting him loose for three hours of the four hour period we had booked. When i called to give the company feedback and attempt to recoup some of my money, the owner was defensive, and made very weak excuses for why we were not entitled to a full refund (ex: her-you didn't tip the driver / me-why would we tip the driver when he was underqualified and unhelpful) before i had even asked for one. She never apologized or was willing to admit that there was fault on their side. We receieved a refund for 1 hour of the 4 hour payment.
I'm sure i would have a good rating to give, if everything went smoothly, but it didn't, and the customer service was very poor after the fact.
Xcellent service – On time..... knowledgeable......excellent service

Devices, Consumption and the Digital Landscape Study
Trends in technology, media and telecommunications
How quickly are tablet computing devices being adopted in the U.S.? What effect is the "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) trend having on workplace computing? Has the tablet become more popular than the laptop? These and other questions are addressed in a new Deloitte report, "Devices, Consumption, and the Digital Landscape Study."
The study provides insight into media consumption patterns across different types of devices, including tablets, smartphones, e-readers, and TVs, along with an examination of trends in media subscription services. Based on a U.S. survey of 1,890 consumers and 1,252 businesspeople "Devices, Consumption, and the Digital Landscape Study" spans four generations and five distinct age groups.
Key findings include:
- Tablet penetration has now reached 27% of the U.S. populace.
- Nearly 48% of consumers who own tablets report now taking overnight trips where they bring only their tablet, leaving their PCs at home.
- Younger consumers prefer their laptops to their tablets – of consumers aged 18-23 who own both devices, 92% view their laptop as more important than their tablet.
- Among consumers, the tablet is still viewed primarily as a personal device: 78% of tablet owners say they use their tablet solely for personal use.
- 59% of tablet users in businesses bought their tablets themselves (the BYOD trend).
- Nearly two-thirds (64%) of employees who are not currently using a tablet at work wish they could do so.
We invite you to download the executive summary above. For additional information about the survey findings, please contact LuAnn Morton.

Hopefully this will work
This is how it started, it needed cleaning so I used a steamer, sanded it down lightly and used Farrow and Ball paint to paint it. Farrow and Ball is pricey, but gives a lovely effect and you don't need much of course!
and this is it now
My next project isn't going so well. I've been working on it for a couple of days. I had some leather and got the idea of using it to make cushions for 2 of my chairs. The problem is I don't have enough to cover top and bottom so got some fabric and foam glue that's supposed to adhere the fabric to the 2 inch thick foam cushioning. It doesn't. Now I've devised a plan of cutting small strips of leather to somehow attach underneath. It's a conglomeration of little cross straps and wide shipping tape. I hope when I'm done that it holds and doesn't show from the top. This has not been pleasant. SR has been laughing at me and telling me my fixes aren't going to work. I get even more angry when he's right, darned him.
You're always right my dear...
I just realized what that stool in the OP is for. It's so SR can reach the sink to brush his lil toofies!

There are new reports, based on information coming from Taiwanese electronics manufacturers, that Amazon.com Inc. may be building three new Kindle tablets that would debut later this year. They would compliment Amazon's breakout first tablet, the Kindle Fire. Amazon reports it has sold millions of Kindle Fire tablets.
The device is the first real competitor to Apple Inc.'s market-dominating iPad. Like Apple, Amazon.com has created a mobile ecosystem around its tablet. The Fire comes connected to a user's Amazon account and, with a few taps, can buy a nearly endless supply of digital content from Amazon. The Kindle Fire and the iPad are designed for media consumption, and they come enmeshed in vast media empires.
This is where other tablet manufacturers have failed. None of their devices have come with a world all their own. And none of them have had retail and m-commerce powerhouses like Apple and Amazon behind them.
I believe three new Kindle tablets could score a direct hit on Apple because they would offer different sizes and prices and would live in the successful Amazon ecosystem. Reports say that one of the new Amazon tablets will have a high-resolution screen nearly nine inches in size. That comes very close to the iPad's 9.7-inch screen. If anyone can give Apple a run for its money, it's Amazon. And if reports are true, Amazon plans to do just that.
Just this morning I was talking with the director of marketing at e-retailer Gilt Groupe. He passed along a surprise: The company has built a Kindle Fire app. That's amazing news, as few retailers, so far, have focused on the Fire. All attention is on the iPad. But that soon may change if Amazon floods the market in 2012 with a load of new tablets.
Keep your eye on the Kindle Fire. It's become very popular. And keep your ear to the ground for rumblings of new tablets from Amazon. Just like Apple, it seems like anything Amazon touches turns to gold. So be prepared for a tablet war—and be ready to build two tablet apps, not just one.
Reports say that one of the new "Apple" tablets will have a high-resolution screen nearly nine inches in size. Did you mean Kindle there?
Good catch, emm87j. I did indeed mean "Amazon" and I made the change above. Thank you.

Gianfranco Ferre - Milan Spring 2009
View Gallery
(MILAN) Their eyes were watching Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi; while a fleet of hired cars idled on a ridiculously picturesque cobblestone street at dusk, the well-regarded 6267 designers unveiled their inaugural collection for Gianfranco Ferré. It's no news that the house needed a new identity following the death of its namesake designer last June. And the new creative team is poised to carry Ferré into the years ahead. "The difficulty was to work with a big style, a big identity," said Aquilano. "We have a small identity, but we wanted this a lot." The show began in the only way it could-with a white blouse, albeit made of silk organza and carrying plenty of sash. As a whole, the clothes reflected what Ferre did best-sculptural, elegant pieces with a twist. At moments-most notably the several bubble-sleeved jackets and oversized organza collars-the designers almost out-Ferré-d Ferré. The effect was a humorous one, despite the fact that these are indeed serious clothes. The austere, respectful palette of white, powder, black, and dove grey was given an opalescent shock, thanks to high-tech metallic fabrics and organza, organza, organza. After the show, Carlos Souza squired Rachel Zoe backstage, where the stylist showed off her heavily-annotated run of show, with certain looks already hand-picked for those starry clients. Could the house of Ferré be any more ready for its close-up?

I am a first time new mom. 23 weeks along and scared. I don't know what i am supposed to do along the lines of finding a pediatrician for my baby and insurance as well. Is there any advice or tips that could help me out?
I'd encourage you to first of all find a list of pediatricians that accept your insurance. You can usually do this by calling your insurance company or going to their website. Once you have that list, narrow down the pediatricians that are relatively close to where you live. It's no fun to have a long drive to the doctor when your child is sick. After that, ask around about the pediatricians that your friends and neighbors most recommend. You can schedule an interview with that doctor you are interested in to see how you like their office and philosophy of care. Hope this helps a bit!
Do you currently have insurance? If not, you need to talk to your employer or your husband's employer to see whose insurance plan the baby would be covered under. If you are currently uninsured, you can talk to Medicaid to see if you can get the baby covered under that. Once you know the insurance you have, you can ask them for a list of pediatricians in your area that are covered by your plan. good luck!

LINCOLN — Welcome back, Shavon Shields. You, too, Terran Petteway.
Your presence and productivity Monday night helped the Nebraska men's basketball team snap a 15-game losing string against ranked opponents and gave second-year coach Tim Miles his biggest win as a Husker, 68-62 over No. 17 Ohio State.
The Buckeyes, who earlier this month were 15-0 and ranked No. 3 nationally, thrashed NU by 31 points (84-53) just 16 days ago.
No wonder much of the student section in the Pinnacle Bank Arena sellout crowd of 15,342 stormed the court. They needed some emotional rescue after seeing the Huskers build a 14-point lead in the first half, fall behind by a point with 5:55 to play, then recover with a 16-5 surge.
Nebraska's best salute came from Aaron Craft, Ohio State's first-team All-Big Ten point guard.
"You've got to give them credit,'' said Craft, who finished with 12 points, seven rebounds and three assists. "We made a big run and got the lead.
"It would have been easy for them to die, and they didn't."
That brings the story back to Nebraska's two sophomore co-captains: Shields, who had 18 points and nine rebounds, and Petteway, who had 18 points, five rebounds and another number we'll get to later.
The "welcome back'' for Shields is because he's back at full speed. While playing hurt (knee strain) during NU's five-game losing streak, he scored just 5.0 points a game while shooting 24 percent.
Against Ohio State, Shields hit 6 of 12 shots, 5 of 6 free throws and nailed a 3-pointer.
"That's the Shavon I know,'' Petteway said. "He played his butt off, man. I'm glad he's back now. I hope that guy stays.''
Nebraska (9-8, 1-4) had downplayed Shields' recent struggles, but Miles admitted that fresh legs for the first time in two weeks led to better play from his 6-foot-7 forward.
Shields had seven points in a 16-1 first-half surge that put Nebraska up 34-20. He scored NU's only basket in a miserable 10-possession stretch to start the second half. And he drew a charging foul on Craft with 1:55 to play and the Huskers holding a four-point lead.
"Determination,'' Miles said. "Nobody was going to stop him. We don't win this game without him.''
Shields never doubted the outcome, even after the Huskers lost their double-digit lead.
"The thing we talked about all week was attitude," he said. "How can I be a better player? How can I be a better teammate? We came together."
Petteway's "welcome back" involved getting his game in order after a forgettable first 25 minutes in which he had more turnovers (8) than points, assists and steals combined (5).
Miles quipped that instead of an invitation for interviews, Petteway should have been invited to the gym for extra running. "I'm going to get him a toothbrush,'' the coach said, "and have him go clean my office.''
But it paid off for Miles to put his leading scorer and playmaker back in the game after an early second-half benching.
When Ohio State (15-4, 2-4) took its first lead since early in the game at 38-36 on Craft's basket with 14:43 to go, Petteway responded with a short jumper and a 3-pointer on consecutive possessions.
With Nebraska's lead at 49-47, Petteway's layup with 2:22 left provided some cushion. He added four free throws and another basket in the final 1:54.
The turnover cluster, Petteway said, required "a short memory.''
"That hurt,'' he said. "I was sitting on the bench, and my teammates were picking me up. Eight turnovers stick in your mind.
"But I had to forget about it. I had to come back and help my team late in the game.''
The victory was Nebraska's first over a ranked foe since a Doc Sadler team defeated No. 11 Indiana on Jan. 18, 2012. Miles' record against Top 25 opponents at NU before Monday was 0-12 with an average margin of defeat of 19 points.
So how will Miles celebrate? By returning to work.
"We've got three games this week,'' he said, noting Thursday at Penn State and Sunday at home with Minnesota. "There's no time to enjoy it."

Emergency contraception is a birth control method to prevent pregnancy in women:
Morning-after pill; Postcoital contraception; Birth control - emergency; Plan B
Emergency contraception most likely works by preventing or delaying the release of an egg from a woman's ovaries. This method prevents pregnancy in the same way as regular birth control pills.
Two emergency contraceptive pills may be bought without a prescription:
Ulipristal acetate (ella) is a new type of emergency contraception pill that requires a prescription from a health care provider.
Two other methods that may be used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex are:
Women ages 17 and older can buy Plan B One-Step and Next Choice at a pharmacy without a prescription or visit to the doctor. Younger girls need to contact a health care provider to get a prescription for these pills.
Emergency contraception works best when you use it within 24 hours of having sex. However, it may still prevent pregnancy for up to 5 days after you first had sex.
Emergency contraception may cause side effects. Most are mild. They may include:
After you use emergency contraception, your next menstrual cycle may start earlier or later than usual. Your menstrual flow may be lighter or heavier than usual.
Sometime, emergency contraception does not work. However, research suggests that emergency contraceptives have no long-term effects on the pregnancy or developing baby.
You should not use emergency contraception if:
You may be able to use emergency contraception even if you cannot regularly take birth control pills. Talk to your health care provider about your options.
Emergency contraception should not be used as a routine birth control method. It is less effective at preventing pregnancies than most types of birth control.

Most Effective Treatments for a Herpes Outbreak
I have been dating this girl for close to a year, but our relationship is over now, because she has apparently been cheating on me. She recently gave me Herpes, and she did not have herpes when we started dating, or I would have gotten before now. I feel so betrayed that I do not even know how to express myself. It is probably the worst feeling that I have ever had in my life. I want to find a herpes cure to get rid of this disease, but I am not sure that it is going to go away without a fight.
I am still so disgusted that my girlfriend would cheat on me, and I kind of want to go to the doctor, and get screened for STDs. If she gave me Herpes, there is no telling what other types of nasty diseases she could have given me. (more…)

Joseph Bloch has invited us to participate in a July Blogfest by writing about cultural appropriation.
I'm a Jungian and an eclectic Neopagan, which means that I am doubly vulnerable to charges of cultural appropriation. Jungianism and eclectic Neopaganism are criticized for their borrowing of symbols from other cultures for a variety of reasons. First, the removal of religious symbols and practices from their cultural context may be seen as trivializing. Second, the adoption of the traditions and practices of another culture may be seen as a form of cultural theft, and another form of Western colonialism. In many cases, these charges are well-founded, but I don't think it is fair or accurate to condemn eclecticism automatically as either trivializing or as cultural theft.

Indie Author Spotlight: An Interview with Dawn McCullough-White, Author of CAMEO THE ASSASSIN
And we're back! A new installment of the Indie Author Spotlight is here at SF Signal for your reading pleasure. Grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and find out about a fantastic self-published author whom you need to be aware of!
Since first receiving my Kindle Fire over a year and a half ago, I have been scrambling to find a self-published female fantasy/science fiction author who brings something new to the popular genre. Let me tell you, it has not been an easy undertaking. I don't read a lot of young adult fiction, and most of the female authors in speculative fiction tend to produce that variety of work when self-publishing. That's fine, it's just not what I'm looking for.
And then I found Dawn McCullough-White.
Dark and gritty historical fantasy; assassins and vampires; and a strong female protagonist. These (and more) are all things you'll find in Dawn's first series. Check out the synopsis for Cameo the Assassin, book one in the Trilogy of Shadows:
The Kingdom of Sieunes is rife with taverns, dirty streets, and clay pipe smoking citizens all toiling to feed their families and keep themselves in something little better than rags. With a foiled revolution just ten years prior still burning in the hearts of many, the royals enlist the aid of assassins to keep things in order.
The townsfolk entertain themselves by dreaming of better times to come and regaling in stories of the undead said to walk the graveyards at night… and of Cameo the killer with corpse-like eyes… Scarred and jaded Cameo is one of the most effective assassins in the employ of the Association, moving from one mission to the next as long as the alcohol keeps flowing.
Her acceptance of the murder-for-hire lifestyle is thrown into doubt when she meets a local highwayman with a penchant for fine clothes and women, and then she begins to think about breaking with the company but no one ever breaks with the Association under good terms.
And there you have it. If the above interests you in the slightest, keep reading as I present my interview with Dawn — and then treat yourself to one (or all) of her books and fall in love with the colorful characters and story just as I did!

Substances & Homeopatic Remedies
Zincum muriaticum
Requests: If you need specific information on this remedy - e.g. a proving or a case info on toxicology or whatsoever, please post a message in the Request area www.homeovision.org/forum/ so that all users may contribute.
zincum muriaticum
Traditional name
Italian: Clorato di zinco
English: Chloride of Zinc
Used parts
Pure chloride of zinc is triturated, as directed under Class VII, but owing to the deliquescent of the salt, the lower triturations will not keep well.
Minerals; Inorganic; Zinc-Group
Original proving
Proven by Dr. Franz.
Allen: Encyclop. of Mat. Med., Vol. X, 215; Clarke: A Dictionary of Pract. Mat. Med., Vol. III, 1599.
Description of the substance
Zinc chloride (ZnCl2) is a colorless or white compound of zinc and chlorine that is extremely hygroscopic.
Four crystalline structures have been reported, although in pure form (i.e. water-free) only the delta (hexagonal close-packed) phase can form. It can be quenched from the melt to form a glassy material.
Concentrated aqueous solutions of zinc chloride have the interesting property of dissolving starch, silk and cellulose, so that solutions cannot be filtered through standard filter papers.
Zinc chloride finds wide application in textile processing, metallurgical fluxes and chemical synthesis.
Chemical properties
Zinc chloride is an ionic salt, though some covalent character is indicated by its low melting point (275 °C) and its high solubility in solvents such as diethyl ether. It behaves as a mild Lewis acid, and aqueous solutions have a pH around 4. It is hydrolyzed to an oxychloride when hydrated forms are heated.
In aqueous solution, zinc chloride is a useful source of Zn2+ for the preparation of other zinc salts, for example zinc carbonate:
ZnCl2(aq) + Na2CO3(aq) → ZnCO3(s) + 2 NaCl(aq)
Preparation & purification
Anhydrous zinc chloride can be prepared from zinc and hydrogen chloride.
Zn + 2 HCl(g) → ZnCl2(s) + H2(g)
Hydrated forms and aqueous solutions may be readily prepared using standard acid-base methods, or from one of its ores, zinc sulfide:
ZnS(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2S(l)
Commercial samples of zinc chloride typically contain water and zinc oxychloride, the main hydrolysis product. Such samples may be purified as follows: 100 g of crude ZnCl2 are heated to reflux in 800 mL anhydrous dioxan in the presence of zinc metal dust. The mixture is filtered while hot (to remove Zn), then allowed to cool to give pure ZnCl2 as a white precipitate. Anhydrous samples can be purified by sublimation in a stream of hydrogen chloride gas, followed by heating up to 400 °C in a stream of dry nitrogen gas.
One use for zinc chloride is as a flux for soldering. This is because of its ability (when molten) to dissolve metal oxides. This property also leads to its use in the manufacture of magnesia cements for dental fillings. ZnCl2 has also been used as a fireproofing agent and for etching metals.
In the laboratory, zinc chloride finds wide use, principally as a moderate-strength Lewis acid. It can catalyse (A) the Fischer indole synthesis[9], and also (B) Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions involving activated aromatic rings[10].
Related to the latter is the classical preparation[8] of the dye fluorescein from phthalic anhydride and resorcinol, which involves a Friedel-Crafts acylation. This has in fact been done successfully using the wet ZnCl2 sample shown in the picture above.
Hydrochloric acid alone reacts poorly with primary alcohols and secondary alcohols, but a combination of HCl with ZnCl2 (known together as the "Lucas reagent") at 130 °C is effective for the preparation of alkyl chlorides. This probably reacts via an SN2 mechanism with primary alcohols but via SN1 with secondary alcohols.
Zinc chloride is also able to activate benzylic and allylic halides towards substitution by weak nucleophiles such as alkenes[11]:
In similar fashion, ZnCl2 promotes selective NaBH3CN reduction of tertiary, allylic or benzylic halides to the corresponding hydrocarbons.
Zinc chloride is also a useful starting point for the synthesis of many organozinc reagents, such as those used in the palladium catalysed Negishi coupling with aryl halides or vinyl halides[12]. In such cases the organozinc compound is usually prepared by transmetallation from an organolithium or a Grignard reagent, for example:
Zinc enolates, prepared from alkali metal enolates and ZnCl2, provide control of stereochemistry in aldol condensation reactions due to chelation on to the zinc. In the example shown below, the threo product was favored over the erythro by a factor of 5:1 when ZnCl2 in DME/ether was used[13]. This is because the chelate is more stable when the bulky phenyl group is pseudo-equatorial rather than pseudo-axial, i.e., threo rather than erythro.
Zinc Chloride Solution slowly corrodes steel. Madison Industries recommends rubber-lined steel tanks or the more economical fiber glass reinforced polyester tanks for storage. Since solutions of Zinc Chloride above 67 percent crystallize at 40oF,it should not be stored outside unless heating coils and insulation are provided. Coils should be fabricated from Monel, Inconel or Teflon. Alternately an electrical heating tape may be affixed to the outside of the tank.
Centrifugal pumps constructed of type 316 stainless steel, rubber-lined steel, FRP, glass-filled epoxy resins or other high quality engineering plastics are suggested for transfer of Zinc Chloride Solution.
Zinc Chloride Solutions are acidic, astringent and may cause skin irritation or even burns. Contact with skin or eyes should be avoided through the use of face shields, rubber aprons and rubber gloves. Protective clothing should be employed in cases where contact with the solution is probable. In case of contact, flush eyes and skin with water for 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and consult a physician. A paste of baking soda can be applied to help neutralize acid remaining on the skin. Obtain prompt medical attention for eyes. Contaminated clothing should be thoroughly laundered prior to reuse. Do not take internally. If Zinc Chloride Solution is ingested, administer large quantities of water or milk. Do not induce vomiting. Avoid inhaling mist or fumes. The Threshold Limit Value (TLV) of Zinc Chloride is 1 milligram per cubic meter of air for a 8 hour work-day. Exposure to fumes can be minimized by adequate ventilation or exhaust fans. In case of spills, flush area with plenty of water to chemical sewers. Zinc Chloride Solution is non-flammable.
